| Jun 15, 2019 at 20:02 | comment | added | Wayne Conrad | @CharlieBrumbaugh I think that's true, and why you see bench shooters pay so much attention to the barrel. Hunting is a long way from shooting from a rest. My claim is that, as long as the barrel is at all decent, other factors dominate accuracy in hunting. I wish I had data to support my claim. | |

| Jun 14, 2019 at 20:02 | comment | added | Wayne Conrad | I am certain--but lack the references to prove it, so won't make an answer--that of the many variables affecting accuracy in hunting, the barrel is the least of them (providing a good quality barrel, however many grooves it has). Sub-moa groups are not done without a sling in field positions, right? So your position, stability, trigger control, breathing, all of that is where accuracy happens (or doesn't) when hunting. I claim that--again, given a decent barrel--the barrel is not the big contributor to hunting accuracy. | |
